Having seen the updated photos, I would agree that the blemishes are minor enough to be lived with for a bit (read, no emergency). It IS a rare combination, and happens to be my favorite.

The asking price is still a bit high, BUT that's his prerogative. The car is worth what the market is willing to support. If it's worth more than that to the owner, then he clearly isn't motivated to get rid of it. The buyer isn't wrong for wanting a good deal, and the seller isn't a crook for asking top dollar. Life goes on, and in the end, someone still has possession of an awesome car.

All the best,
